Once a wealthy seaport on the Merrimack River with profits from shipbuilding, fishing and foreign commerce, Newburyport still maintains its stately old mansions and the historic Market Square shopping district. The town is only a few miles from beautiful local beaches and the New Hampshire border.

Newburyport Downtown

Unique, original and beautiful describe the items found in Newburyport's ecletic shops. Shop for the person in your life who's hard to buy for, or find a one-of-a-kind item that's perfect for yourself. SHopkeepers and building owners throughtout the downtown complement these baskets with colorful and creative window boxes, filled with flowers, herbs, vines and other greenery. These displays have become a signature of Newburyport's downtown.
